Description
*Note* These bivy bags have been pierced when a supplier added stock tags. This is not ideal for waterproof gear! Please see image #7 (outer) and 8 (inner). The overall condition, apart from this small hole, is very good.
The Bundeswehr (Germany Army) issues these as 'sleeping bag covers' to protect from mud and water alike. Made from hard wearing Gore-Tex material it will help extend the life of your sleeping bag and keep the user dry. The front has a split opening down to roughly half way which makes getting in and out of these a lot easier than US designs for example. Before you panic and yell 'but a big split down the top is a weak point!' - the storm flap doubles back on itself so water can't roll in. What we will say though is make sure to pitch a basha when using one of these - you will need to keep some of the front open to help keep you breathing!
If you don't have the capacity for a tent and want to go lightweight in your outdoor adventures, then give a bivy camping a go!
